Good morning, Deagle, and thanks. Let me offer a little detail on my general agreement with your beliefs.
1. As regards "trusting" any poster, I do think that there are many posters who can be trusted as regards that they are presenting their honest opinions (or even facts at times, when you see references to documents like SEC filings). Their "honest opinions" may at times be biased, which is to be expected if one is holding shares in the particular company. "Trust" differs from "reliance," in that it is generally a mistake to rely upon any one opinion, post, or poster as having a monopoly on wisdom.
2. Some posters are more easy to trust than others. Posters who do business with the particular company can be trusted, at least generally and more than that when you've interacted with them for awhile, as regards the "realness" of the company as contrasted to the company's being just some sort of scam operation. However, their opinions on how the stock will perform going forward, while having some advantage in terms of how good products create sales volume which in turn grows companies, are not necessarily Gospel, as so many other variable beyond product quality come into play.
3.Also, posters who either cheerlead or dump (and your point about seeing what for instance VHUB posters do on other discussion boards is excellent) are far less easy to trust than those who offer analyses.
Have a good day for yourself. If I find myself blessed with some spare time today, I'll go see your handiwork on other discussion boards.
